Ouch is right.

Don't kill yourself. We all make mistakes.

AP arrow is correct. Call is inadvertent whistle. AP arrow since neither team had control.

You are lucky they had the arrow, at least they got their chance to tie.

And just to make you feel a little better, odds are they probably have a better chance off the inbounds to run a decent set play as opposed to off the rim. 4 seconds to run a play and take the last shot from your front court is not a bad deal.

Live and learn.

To the OP, I think you handled the situation your partner created the best you could.

Now, this post I quoted. Your post was OK until you said this. You have no way of knowing this and the OP said the miss went to A3 and he made a layup. Now maybe A3 got the ball and layup because the other players froze. I don't know and you sure don't know unless you know the OP personally and have talked to him about it off line. Why would you assume this?

knowing what? and assuming what?

That they are better off with possession of the ball as opposed to off the rim? just my humble opinion. Ask any coach what he would rather have. As for the layup by A3, yes I assumed there was a freeze.

Sequence: backboard, whistle, rim, rebound, layup. That's a long time between whistle and layup. I assumed. A tip, maybe not, but a catch and shoot with the whistle gone already, most likely there was a freeze. Was there?
